To @ZZ whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. II. DOTY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pat erson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Veterinary Devices forAdministering Medicine, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in instruments or devices foradministering' medicine to animals; and the invention consists in thedetails of construction set forth in the following specification andclaim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which shows asectional elevation of a syringe constructed'according to my invention.

In the drawing, the letter A indicates the discharge-pipe of theinstrument. Abulb or compressible hollow ball B is shown secured to thepipe A. The mouth of the dischargepipe is provided with a reversible bagC, of rubber, cloth, or other suitable flexible material.

Vhen it is desired to administer' a pill to a horse or other animal, thebag C in the month of the discharge-pipe is pressed inward, as shown infull lines in the drawing, and the pill D is placed into the bag. Thepipe A is then inserted into the throat of the animal a suitabledistance, and on compressing the bulb B the bag C is forced out to theposition indicated by dotted lines in the drawing and the pill D isejected into the throat of the animal. The pipe A is of course long`enough to extend a suitable distance into the throat of the animal. Inplace of the bulb B a piston working in a cylinder can be made tosimilarly operate the bag U.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by `Letters Patent, is

Amedicine-administering device having its mouth or discharge-openingprovided with a reversible bag, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
